“I don’t know how Mr Attlee suddenly agreed to give India Independence.” With this opening line, #DrBRAmbedkar went on to demolish modern world's longest running state-sanctioned hoax - that ahimsa brought India freedom. Babasaheb was speaking to the BBC in 1955. 1/ @chandrachurg
Clement Attlee was the British PM who took the decision to free India. Why he took the decision every Indian should know. In 1956, Attlee disclosed this secret. A year earlier, Babasaheb got it right. It was because of Netaji and his INA. 2/
One year after Ambedkar told this to BBC, Sir Attlee said the same thing. Contemporary records from that time back this statement. Ahimsa was no factor at all in the British taking the decision to quit India. This hoax is being foisted on Indians for political reasons. 3/
Indian leadership lives on false hopes that promoting the cult of ahimsa will fetch them Nobel Peace Prize. No, it won't. Prime example is that of Chacha Nehru, who was nominated several times but got thenga. 4/
The war for the change of the false narratives imposed on us can never be won till unless we settle this core issue. It is a sin to say that India became free because of ahimsa. I support my Government on everything, but not on this issue. Cult of ahimsa will do India no good. 5/
Mainstream media and politicians avoid referring to this statement of #DrBRAmbedkar even though it is possibly one of the most incisive and outstanding remarks he ever made in his life. It tells the truth the crooked Indian political class, the elites do not want discussed. 6/
